Dog Attack Compensation in Israel

Strict Liability for Dog Attacks

Israeli tort law imposes strict liability on dog owners and keepers for injuries caused by their dogs. The victim does not need to prove that the owner was careless, that the dog had a history of aggression, or that the owner knew of any danger. The attack itself establishes liability.

Compensation covers physical injuries, psychological trauma, scarring, lost earnings, and medical costs — including future costs for cosmetic treatment of bite scars. Adv. Elmaliach handles dog attack claims from initial assessment to final recovery.
